Regina Dawn Akers, is retiring from Awakening Together on December 31, 2022. To commemorate this special occasion we have created a special “living card” so that anyone who feels called can share well wishes, gratitude, pictures and videos with Regina.
If you would like to share sentiments please use the link below to the Kudoboard. If you have questions about what to do when you get to the board, go to the bottom of the page as shown in this screenshot and click on support.
Regina Dawn Akers shares the games she played as part of her awakening process. The games she played came to her as insight as she read and contemplated spiritual teachings.
We recommend you practice each game for one week. After practicing the game for one full week, move on to the next Awakening Game.
Click play on the following YouTube video to learn about this week’s game.
And don’t forget to have fun!
The Four Principles of God:
A Course in Miracles says in Lesson 132, “There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach.” However, this central thought is seldom understood with clarity. At this retreat, we will look at a model developed by Regina Dawn Akers called the Four Principles of God, which helps bring clarity regarding the dream of separation (the 4th principle), the process that makes the dream (the 3rd principle), the real world (the 2nd principle), and Heaven or Knowledge (the 1st principle), which is beyond the perception of the world.
This retreat will not leave you feeling aimless. In fact, you will most likely feel clearer about your next steps than you ever have before.
Although the teachings of A Course in Miracles will be used in this retreat, we will also look at corroborating quotes from spiritual masters and texts from a variety of spiritual traditions. After all, there is only one truth and all who realize it come to the same experiential realization.
This retreat will be limited to 50 participants so you may want to register soon.

Have you ever wanted to see inside someone else’s mind and heart as they journeyed toward spiritual awakening? Have you ever wondered what obstacles they faced, what inquiries they used, or what insights they experienced? If so, this program is perfect for you. Each week, Regina Dawn Akers shares from her published journal, Out of the Stillness. It was written as a personal journal over 8½ years as she contemplated quotes from spiritual masters and practiced the insight she realized through contemplation. The quotes Regina contemplated were collected by Michael Langford and published in The Seven Steps to Awakening. Both books are used in this program.
Rev. Helen Avery is an Awakening Together Ordained Minister. She shares weekly in our Sanctuary with a half-hour of heart-felt deep-diving into truth, love, and awareness. This candid sharing is a time when Helen explores different modalities and teachings with various non-dual teachers and how the real-life application of those particular teachings is currently showing up in her life. She shares experiences from her path of awakening including the demonstration of how to utilize these helpful processes and spiritual tools. In her most recent Awakening journey, she discusses radical truth and wisdom from teachers such as Mooji and Helen Hamilton.
